Ekta was absolutely amazing! A wonderful host and her recipes were delicious! We came in from out of town, and if we’re ever back in town, we’d definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend her enough!

Chef Ekta was great in explaining the pizza making process. The skills I learned in this class will be really useful when I make pizza at home. I would recommend her to any beginners who want to learn dough making.

I wasn’t going to leave a review because I don’t want to impact someone’s livelihood but this also cost good money. While the food was great and we learned a lot there were some sanitary issues that cannot be overlooked. First all of the plastic bowls and cups were reused from previous classes, which isn’t an issue unless there’s residue left behind (yellow gunk link was a clear giveaway). After creating the dough we left it to rest and Ekta asked if we minded if she reused some bags from the farmers market. It made us feel awkward, and we clearly can’t say no. Lastly after resting the dough and going to cut into shape, there were ANTS on the table and cutting board we were using. Completely unsanitary environment, would not recommend for that reason. After all was done, and we paid $300 for this class, we weren’t even offered leftovers. Gladly so, because we only put together all these sanitary flags after we left and were discussing what each of us saw independently, but would of been appropriate to get the leftovers for the cost of this class and as would be typically expected for a cooking class. Food taste 5/5, cleanliness and misc. 1/5, overall experience 2.5/5
